SUPPLY VISION.

COMPUTER SERVICES AND SOFTWARE AGREEMENT

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1.             PURPOSE. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions by which Supply Vision will provide Customer with computer software, software development services, network support services and/or consulting services with respect to specialized software, including but not limited to custom database software and web applications software (collectively, the "Services"), in accordance with the specifications indicated on the first page hereof.

 

2.             SCOPE. Customer and Supply Vision acknowledge that Customer's purchase of such Services is a separate transaction from Customer's purchase of any other Supply Vision product or services, and that this purchase is in no way intended to modify any other payment agreements that Customer may have with Supply Vision.

 

3.             CHARGES. An initial payment equal to 50% of the solution pricing and any subsequent change orders will be required before work can begin.  Completed work will be delivered for customer review and acceptance before remaining charges are billed.  The Services to be provided hereunder shall be billed and are payable Fifteen (15) days after the date of the invoice provided work is satisfactory to the Customer.  Any work outside of this agreement will be identified and communicated on a change order and will require the approval/authorization from the Customer prior to any work commencing or subsequent charges being issued for said work.  Work performed outside of this Agreement will be invoiced at Supply Vision's then current rates, with payment due within Fifteen (15) days after the date of the invoice. 

 

Additional services and expenses that are chargeable to Customer include:

 

(a)        Expenses for transportation, to include but not limited to airfare, rental car, taxi, etc. and hotel accommodations for Supply Vision employees outside of the Charlotte, NC metropolitan area.  Such expenses are payable by Customer in accordance with payment terms set forth in the first paragraph of this Section.  Additionally, Customer agrees to pay Supply Vision's standard per diem rate (currently $50 per day) per employee performing Services hereunder, to cover each employee's meals, telephone expenses, and all other incidental expenses.

 

(b)           Standard documentation is included as is documentation for custom functionality if it has been specified in this agreement. However, spare parts, software, documentation, long distance calls and other non-labor services, which are performed on Customer's behalf will be passed through and billed to the Customer. If additional software is needed, Supply Vision will get Customer’s permission before purchasing.

 

4.             LICENSE. Software not developed by Supply Vision will follow the manufacturer’s license agreement.  If any software developed by Supply Vision, including but not limited to, system software, application software and accounting software, is sold or transferred to or developed for Customer by Supply Vision pursuant to this Agreement, Supply Vision hereby grants to Customer a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license (without the right to grant sub-licenses) to use such software in object code form during and beyond the term of this Agreement.  The Customer is not permitted to give or sell the software to any 3rd party.  The Customer cannot setup the software as a service that they sell to other 3rd Party companies.  No promises are implied about the functionality of the software beyond what is spelled out as custom work in this agreement.  The software works exactly as the client viewed it during their live demonstration.  Supply Vision will correct any bugs identified by the customers use of the system and defined as code that is structured in such a way that it causes the system to generate an error.  Functionality that does not generate an error but could be written to perform a task in a different manner will not be defined as a bug and will be handled as an enhancement request or change order.  In addition if a form or report fails to display data to a labeled field on the form or report without generating an error and the data has been entered into the system, this will be corrected by Supply Vision.

 

                                (a)           The annual maintenance fee entitles the customer to toll free telephone and e-mail support during normal maintenance hours.  It includes bug fixes as well as new features and functionality that are developed and become available for the software that the customer has purchased.

 

5.             CONFIDENTIALITY. Customer acknowledges and agrees that all software licensed hereunder, together with all of the concepts, trade secrets, and copyrights contained therein are and shall at all times be the exclusive, unique and valuable property of Supply Vision. Customer shall not copy such software or disclose the software to third parties without the prior written consent of Supply Vision. Customer shall take all reasonable measures necessary to protect the software, including the preservation of and copyright notices and other proprietary notices supplied or requested by Supply Vision, and shall strictly ensure that the software is not disclosed by Customer or its employees or agents to any third persons or entities without the prior written consent of Supply Vision. Customer shall not reverse-compile, reverse-assemble or otherwise reverse-engineer any of the software licensed hereunder.

 

Customer acknowledges and agrees that any violation of this Section by Customer will result in irreparable harm to Supply Vision and that money damages would provide an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that may be available to Supply Vision, Supply Vision shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to restrain any such violation. The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

All of the foregoing rights and remedies of Supply Vision shall be cumulative. The Customer agrees to pay all of Supply Vision's reasonable costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney's fees, court costs, expert witness fees, and court reporter fees, related to Supply Vision's enforcement of its rights hereunder and/or in connection with any collection action instituted by Supply Vision against Customer pursuant hereto.  The customer can review the software in its current form as much as necessary to determine that it will meet their needs.  The project implementation process includes a detailed project plan with detailed action items that will be performed.  The customer is asked to approve the project plan before work begins and again prior to go live to ensure they are satisfied with the final results.  Supply Vision will work with the customer to ensure that the stated objectives have been met.
